Christmas on the corner and taking shelter from the storm .
There was an old man huddled up there trying to keep warm .
No Christmas tree was lit up but the stars above shone bright .
He slept there on a corner all alone on Christmas night .
Around him the shadows danced underneath a dim street light .
The tramp was unaware he had some company that night .
An priest sat down by his side and carried him to his home .
Just before the arrival of a powerful cyclone .
When the morning came the old man found
lots of new things there .
He was wrapped in woolen blankets no worse off for the wear .
He though he'd died and went to heaven for a while at least .
The docror arrived on the orders of a Catholic Priest .
The old man was given a tonic with some pills as well ,
Christmas came a calling and then the old man said farewell .
